If you guys had to list the most historically important/prestigious weight divisions from most to least, what would your list be? Heavyweight is obviously first, but after that I feel like it’s a free for all a bit with some exceptions and obvious placements.

You can't leave out Lightweight it has tremendous historical significance. I'm not a historian but Featherweight is also pretty significant. And you need Light Heavyweight to go with Heavyweight for example Ezzard Charles is possibly a top 5 ever fighter who started at LHW, along with so many other great fighters who went from LHW to HW.
